Jake Paul’s Dutch fiancee Jutta Leerdam won Olympic gold on Monday in speed skating. She broke the Olympic record in the women’s 1,000-meter event with a time of 1:12.31 at the 2026 Milan Cortina games.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer broke down in tears when he witnessed Leerdam achieve glory at the international sports competition.
The achievement marked a special moment for the speedskater. It was the first gold medal for her at the Olympics and the second overall medal of her career as she also won a silver in Beijing in 2022.
Leerdam was crying with joy as she saw her final score.
Previously, her place at the Milan Cortina games was in doubt after she suffered a surprising fall during the Dutch Olympic Trials; however, she did not give up and eventually earned a place on the Dutch team.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Paul expressed his overwhelming emotions, writing, “Juttttttttttaaaaaaaa. I can’t stop crying. You did it my love. Olympic Gold. God is great and so are you.”
In a separate post, the social media sensation shared a picture of him holding Leerdam in his lap with the athlete flaunting her gold medal, the 29-year-old boxer captioned, “We just witnessed one of the most important sporting moments ever. The documentary will tell. Words can’t describe how proud of you I am.”
